Hard Time Reconnecting BH Hydraulic Lines

[jrogers]

I had this same thing happen to me this spring. It was on two lines, whereas the other two lines attached just fine. In my case, I could not depress the center release in the coupler because there was too much pressure. I ended up just loosening one of the hose fittings along the way and letting a little fluid out, which released the pressure and it went right on after this.

Before you pull the tractor away from the backhoe, make sure the stabilizers are all the way up. Then when you mount it, if your hoses won't connect, lower the stabilizers. This has always worked for me.
